Hi,
During sensor.init it should move back and forth a few degrees. If it doesn’t move the sensor.init fails.
Did you try to use the /utils/sensor-test.ino first?
Also test the motor with openloop\_velocity.ino before you combine both.
It might not want to spin with only 3V target on a 12V system.

Thank you, I have checked and the sensor alignment process is quite ok but when I set the speed the motor only vibrates but it does not rotate.

Try to reduce the PID values alot, especially “I” is much too high for low resistance hoverboard motors.
These are my values for a splitboard hoverboard controller. Use it as ballpark numbers, it depends on your MCU-performance, driver voltage a.s.o.
```auto
// velocity low pass filtering time constant
motor.PID_velocity.P = 0.3f;
motor.PID_velocity.I = 0.3f;
motor.LPF_velocity.Tf = 0.04f;
```

I tried it but the motor just vibrates and doesn’t rotate. I also changed the PID with small P and I, D = 0 but the result is the same

Yes, but when I put the hall sensor in, the wheel does not rotate, the motor only vibrates when I set the speed taget but the wheel does not rotate.

You have to match the hall sensor pins with the right motor pins.
Usually the phase colors and hall-sensor colors match ( yellow, blue, green)

I plugged hall into arduino mega2560, hallsensor A, B, pin 21,20. hallsensorB is plugged into pin 4 and I use an interrupt

Is the sensor working normally without closed-loop mode?
i.e. could you try with the HallSensor, but leaving the motor disabled (motor.disable()) and rotate the motor by hand while printing the angles in the main loop.
We have a sensor test ino in our examples that you can use.
If you do this, do you get ±6.28 radians from the sensor per full revolution of the motor?

When I send the speed the motor vibrates very loudly but the wheel does not rotate. Is it because the PID parameters are not correct?

It’s possible that PID parameters are the cause, but usually, unless they are way off, you get some movement.
Non-movement and loud noise is sometimes caused by setting the number of pole-pairs incorrectly, or due to bad commutation signals. But if open loop is working well then it’s probably not the commutation.
Can you try to use open-loop mode, maybe in open-loop position mode, and command the motor to turn itself?
In the main loop, call sensor.update() and print the angle from the sensor (but only 1-2 times per second or you will overload the serial port). This is to see if the sensor agrees with the open loop position.

yes, I see it rotates once and the angle is about 6rad. quite okay

Honestly, if all these things are working, and it also works in torque-voltage mode, then it might well be the PID that needs tuning…
Does torque voltage mode work?

They one have 2 spare pins left for interrupt, so they used one with software int.

I tried changing the PID parameters many times without success. Or maybe it’s not right?
